Crockpot French Onion Soup

Crockpot French Onion Soup is so good and I can not believe I have waited so long to make it! I will not make that mistake again. I am one who loves a good bowl of French Onion Soup when I am dining out, especially from LaRosa’s Pizzeria (a local franchise in Cincinnati). I think they have the best, but I may be biased.

So one day I was thinking how could I make the same thing here at home and in my slow cooker. After researching many recipes and making my own adjustments I found the one! If you love French Onion Soup then be sure to try this Crockpot French Onion Soup!

I hope you enjoy this delicious Crockpot French Onion Soup as much as I did. Crockpot French Onion Soup is divine and simple to make! Tastes great and you can add bread and cheese on top if desired.
